Will my visa application be denied due to the same arrival and departure date?

Charles **********

Anonymous participant nothing you can do anyway once the forms are submitted (excluding extra attachable documents) nothing you can do but hope they don’t reject your application.

I guess someone could stay in Thailand for 1 day anyway and leave same day….so it should be fine anyway

Charles **********

Possibly but I think it’s small chance. I think they are more concerned with passport details being entered exactly right

—-I put address’s wrong way round (and so far application has not cancelled yet after asking for extra documents so fingers crossed)
